Stabulnieki air field is an abandoned airfield 170 kilometers east of Riga, Latvia.
The airfield was built by the Soviet Union in the 1975-1985 timeframe. It was used for agricultural activities by state-run Aeroflot. It consisted of a small runway, two taxiways and and two medium sized platforms to the north of the runway.


No photos of the airfield while in use have been located

Latvian Airfields had a page the airfield, describing it as 'fairly acceptable runway surface; however there are lot of bushes bushes along the runway'. It listed the airfields condition as 'average'. From aerial photography it seemed a local road ran over the western end of the runway, making it potentially hazardous to operate to and from.
MyAirfields visited the airfield in 2013, describing it as fairly acceptable runway surface; bushes along the runway have been cut. Be careful of a road very close to RWY27
The airfield is uncertified, which means it is officially closed to all traffic.
